Social Determinants and Psychosocial Factors That Impact on Health Status
The Social Determinants of Health (SDH) are defined by the World Health Organization as “the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life”. Social determinants, as well as psychosocial factors, are elements that have a significant influence on people's health and well-being. These factors include psychological, social and also cultural aspects, which can affect a person's behavior and health. These psychosocial determinants may include stress, education, poverty, social exclusion, discrimination and violence. Such factors can act as protective or, on the contrary, increase the risk of physical and mental illness and affect the quality of life of individuals.

Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Ossa nel deserto
«Qualche anno fa i miei amici che vivono in Messico, stanchi di sentirmi chiedere informazioni, e per di più sempre più dettagliate, sulle donne assassinate a Ciudad Juárez, decisero, a quanto pare di comune accordo, di incentrare e scaricare questo compito su Sergio González Rodríguez, che è uno scrittore, saggista e giornalista e chissà quante altre cose ancora, e che secondo loro era la persona più informata su questo caso, un caso unico negli annali del crimine latinoamericano: più di trecento donne violentate e assassinate in un arco di tempo estremamente breve, dal 1993 al 2002, in una città al confine con gli Stati Uniti di appena un milione di abitanti ... Ossa nel deserto non solo è una fotografia imperfetta, come non avrebbe potuto essere altrimenti, del male e della corruzione, ma diventa una metafora del Messico e del passato del Messico e del futuro incerto di tutta l’America latina. È un libro che non appartiene alla tradizione avventuriera ma alla tradizione apocalittica, che sono le uniche tradizioni rimaste vive nel nostro continente, forse perché sono le uniche in grado di avvicinarci all’abisso che ci circonda».

Mexican Political Biographies, 1935-1993
My Father’s Shoes is, at its core, an anthology of short stories. The book is allegoric and the shoes are metaphoric. Unlike most anthologies, however, these stories are an amalgam of themselves. They integrate and coalesce. There is a rhythm and a cadence both in substance and in form. This book was initially written as a gift to my father. I wanted to share certain memories with him that were meaningful and lasting. I wanted him to know, from my perspective, just how important he was in my life. He never really understood the profound impact that he had on the lives of other people –especially his family. Because of that humility, or perhaps in honor of it, I wanted to him know that he...
